You mean you prefer letting small groups of people over what was 4-5 day period, and still having queues week after official launch, over 3 hour downtime on first night of headstart ? People have odd fetishes these days oO

I live US, but play Europe. Like many people who play on the European side SOME of us had issues logging in. Not all of us. And not even the majority.

In our Guild (52 former GW1 players that decided to migrate to GW2) only 7 have not made it on. Of the 45 that got on, 27 are currently playing while the rest have retired for the evening. Of the 45 that got on line, 24 are level 10 or higher (highest is Level 16, with mutiple 15['s and 14's) though most of them are now done for the day..

Of the other seven, I know some of them were also at work and a couple on vacation.

This thread seems silly. The lag only persisted for the first 3 hours. After that the game was running fine and I had no lag issues. Played for a while today and had absolutely no lag issues what so ever. I think I may have had a random DC but it was only a couple times.

Every single mmo that has launched since the very first mmo has had some jackass start a thread somwhere on the internet that goes somthing like this

OMFG OMFG THIS THE WORST LAUNCH OF ALL TIME.

Protip #2 : No one really thinks alaunch will go off with out a hitch and there was only one super bad launch in the history of mmos and it aint this one .. acutally there are two that I can recall

Auto Assault

and Tabula Rasa

That's not true at all. SWTOR and RIFT both had very smooth launches, TSW as well. So much so that threads began popping up saying that a smooth launch is now the norm the nothing to brag about. A major title hasn't had a bad launch in quite some time. Also look back at the above launches all of them counted the head starts as part of the launch.

The game still has issues. The Trading Post has been down for hours. There is also guild display bugs. Issues with grouping and instances.

I logged on right when the servers went up, had the usual high lag and disconnects for about 30-45 minutes (human starting zone was packed), then played for several hours. Woke up this morning, apparently missed the couple hours of server issues, but even with that and some of the lingering issues, this is one of the better launches I've seen. Doesn't anyone remember how these things go?

The number of people on is significantly higher than any stress test they've had, this shouldn't be entirely unexpected.

The game is worse than any of the stress tests so far.

Ah okay, I wouldn't be seeing those issues. Haven't joined a guild yet, and I haven't used the trading post yet. Just been PvEing and crafting so far. Hopefully they iron that stuff out soon.

Rift had huge queues until Trion added more servers. And BioWare let people in little by little. Turned out those who were left out hated this approach even more than queues.

So neither launch was smooth as in everyone-got-in-and-was-able-to-play.

Yup. Oddly, I'm watching this surpisingly awesome game....GW2 is on hold for a bit.

Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.

MMO complainers really need to be kicked in the face until they can't speak or type for about a month on mmo launches from now on. I don't want to hear their stupidity anymore on every damn launch from yesterday to the apocalypse. It's a fackin game. The world won't end if you can't get login for a day! Can people be any more pathetic?!

Gah, I said I won't complain about complainers anymore but it spilled out. I really hate these types of people. Can't help it. Sorry to all the nice positive forum people.

If a company asks for $$$ for their product and it doesn't work, what is wrong with complaining about it?

If I buy an Internet / phone plan and it doesn't work, you can be sure I'll complain about it and tell my friends to avoid company XYZ. Not getting the logic of this post.
